Chapter 298 European Chinese Team

Li Chenglong's long-range world wave helped England lead again, and the team was temporarily in a very safe position.

On the other side of Uruguay, they are in a very dangerous situation.

If they suffer a two-game losing streak, they still want to appear as a team, which is indeed extremely difficult.

So the Uruguayans continued to make substitutions and adjustments, and continued to strengthen their offense.

Under the command of Hodgson, England began to slow down the pace of the game and try to maintain this score.

In the 71st minute, England once again used the counterattack to create a threat. Lee Chenglong scored the ball from the center and Gerrard made a cross from the side. However, Welbeck pushed the ball directly into the opponent's goalkeeper Muslera with a kick in the small penalty area. in the arms.

"England missed a good opportunity to completely seal the victory." Almost all commentators from various countries think so.

Although the opportunity was missed, Uruguay has not played a very good offense. Generally speaking, England should have no problem winning the game.

But when the game was about to end, England had problems again.

In the 86th minute, Rooney received a pass from Lee Chenglong in the penalty area of ​​the frontcourt. He hit the goal with no strength and was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera took the ball and directly launched a counterattack. This was not a big threat, after all, England did not press too much.

But Gerrard, as the team captain, made a mistake. He took off and headed the ball a little further in the middle of the midfield, trying to clear the siege.

But he made a huge error in clearing the siege, and the header failed to hit the top of his head. The ball bounced off the top of his head for a second time, crossed the England defense line, and flew towards the England penalty area.

Worst of all, Suarez got in from the back row in time, and when he got the ball, he faced Joe Hart single-handedly.

Su Ya did not miss this good opportunity and scored twice with a single-handed goal, helping Uruguay equalize the score for the second time.

"The goal looked amazing. The Uruguayan goalkeeper kicked it off with a big kick. Steven Gerrard made a very beautiful header in the midfield and helped Suarez complete the one-handed goal."

"Gerrard and Suarez are both players who played for Liverpool. This may be the tacit understanding they have cultivated with each other."

At this time, commentators all over the world were mocking England and Gerrard.

Li Chenglong is also very speechless, the two conceded goals in this game were caused by his own mistakes.

And it was the same mistake, the defensive player gave a big gift with a header.

No wonder England is called the European Chinese team, which is really annoying in many cases.

The same mistake can be made twice in a row.

It's still the same formula, and it's still a familiar taste.

The only consolation is that this error is not fatal.

As Hodgson said before, it is best to win this game. If you can't win, a draw is acceptable, and it won't affect the group qualifying too much.

Since the ball was missed by mistake in the 86th minute, England had no time to make up for it, and Uruguay had no time to continue to pursue the victory.

So just like that, the two teams ended the confrontation with a score of 2:2.

Speaking of it, this is also a world championship match. Uruguay has won the World Cup twice in history.

At the end of the game, England, who took the lead twice but failed to win the game, was okay, while the Uruguayan, who fell behind twice and equalized twice, was very disappointed.

Especially Suarez, currently the biggest star in the Uruguayan team, even cried bitterly at the end of the game.

So Gerrard, Henderson and other Liverpool teammates went to comfort him.

After this tie with England, they only scored one point in two rounds, and Uruguay's qualifying situation is already very dangerous.

But in general, Uruguay still has a chance, but it depends on the results of another match between Italy and Costa Rica in the second round to determine how Uruguay will qualify.

Three hours after the game between England and Uruguay, the game between Italy and Costa Rica officially started in the northeastern city of Recife in Brazil.

Although Buffon came back in time, he still failed to help Italy win this life-and-death battle to qualify, and they even failed to score a single point.

Yes, due to the draw between England and Uruguay, this led to the second round of Italy's group directly upgrading to a life-and-death battle for qualifying. If they lose, they will be out immediately. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest Mobile terminal: https:/

In the end, Costa Rica beat Italy 1-0, and thus qualified one round ahead of the death group in this group.

No one expected this. In a death group with three strong teams, England, Italy and Uruguay, Costa Rica, which was considered to be the cannon fodder of the belly, was upset one after another and qualified ahead of schedule with two consecutive victories.

Italy, which is considered to be the strongest in this group, lost two games in a row and was eliminated one round ahead of schedule.

This is definitely the big upset in this World Cup.

Currently in Group D after two rounds of group matches, Costa Rica has 6 points for two consecutive victories, England has 4 points for one win and one draw, Uruguay has one point for one draw and one loss, Italy has two consecutive losses and one point and was sent home. .

Although England failed to qualify early, they have a great chance of advancing.

In the final round of the group stage, England will face the dark horse Costa Rica, while Uruguay will face Italy, which has already been eliminated early.

If England loses to Costa Rica and Uruguay beats Italy, Uruguay can squeeze out England by virtue of goal difference and advance to the knockout rounds.

However, the probability of this happening is very small.

First of all, even if Italy is out, but as a European powerhouse, even out of face considerations, they must strive to win a game before going home.

Italy's performance in the World Cup has not been stable. Although it has won four championships and is the second most World Cup-winning national team, it also has the embarrassing situation of being eliminated in the group stage six times, and it still does not include this year. This time out.

You must know that the five-star Brazil, which has never missed the World Cup, failed to qualify for the group stage only twice.

As for Germany, which has only won the championship three times, they have never been eliminated in the group stage. starter

So Italy's six group stage exits are already a lot.

Among Italy's six group eliminations before, in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they were eliminated with two draws and one loss with two points, which was the worst case.

Now if Italy fails to win Uruguay in the final round, they will create their own worst World Cup record in team history, which is definitely what no one wants.

And even if Italy doesn't care about setting the best record and really lost to Uruguay by a big margin, England will not necessarily lose to Costa Rica.

According to the current situation, as long as England and Costa Rica play a tacit match in the final round and score one point each with a tacit score of 0:0, they can both advance hand in hand and suffocate Uruguay directly.

At that time, no matter how many goals Uruguay wins Italy, it will be useless.

However, the only disadvantage of tacit ball is that England can only advance to the second place in the group, which will not be very beneficial to the knockout round.

Generally speaking, under the current situation, there is a high probability that England will advance to the knockout round, and there is basically no big problem.
